Re: New site: www.portaltotheuniverse.org

[larsholm]

Not at all :-)

For the site we use:
feedparser (nearly obviously for the feed parsing - it's unbeatable)
beautifulsoup
django-command-extensions
django-batchadmin (which I'm very happy to see makes it into Django
1.1)
django-mptt (for our menu system)
djangodblog
PIL
threadpool
SSLMiddleware

For deployment we're using a combination of Paver (with some of our
own add-ons), Fabric and virtualenv - all of it works really well
together and makes deployment so much easier.

Besides that we have a growing common code base for all our sites,
that contains all the base components you just need in a site (menus +
breadcrumbs generation, a more flexible flatpages app with TinyMCE
editor, searching etc). Most of our code base, I'd like to release as
open source, but it's quite a big task for the initial stuff we did,
which is basically where it gets stuck. The new applications we are
doing, we have much greater focus on making them open source, so
hopefully you should see small apps coming from us in a not so distant
future (ESO is after all funded with tax money ;-).

Cheers,
Lars

New site: www.portaltotheuniverse.org

[larsholm]

Dear all,

Allow me to advertise for our new Django based site: 
http://www.portaltotheuniverse.org

Keeping up-to-date with cutting-edge astronomy and space science
breakthroughs has just become that much easier, thanks to the Portal
To The Universe, the latest Cornerstone project of the International
Year of Astronomy 2009 (IYA2009).

On the tech side it basically boils down to a content-specific feed
aggregator with a number of important add-ons:
- human moderation to feature high quality content.
- embargoed press releases for journalists with login (works in much
the same way as when journalists can be invited to watch new movies a
day before everybody else).
- the RSS crawler is fast and updated very often to keep up-to-date
with the news development during the day.

This is our third major Django-based website we have done here at ESO
- European Southern Observatory (located in Munich, Germany), and we
naturally have more websites with astronomy content in the pipeline.

Thanks for viewing!

Lars Holm Nielsen 
ESO - European Southern Observatory

Re: Weird problem with memcached enabled

[larsholm]

Hi

What the error says is that it cannot add this together "time.time() +
cache_timeout" because on is float and the other is a string, so I
suspect that you somewhere have specified *cache_timeout* as a string
in quotes instead of just a number (without quotes). Either in the
settings.py or in manually in one of the views.

Cheers,
Lars

Re: Installing django on a vm using NAT - SVN 400 bad request

Are you trying to get the latest copy of django from the subversion
repository?

I've been running both debian and ubuntu on my vmware fusion without
any problems. Can you connect to anything else outside your computer
from your vm?
